Process of planned intervention(s) utilizing
behavioral and organizational principles to
change a system and improve its
effectiveness, conducted in accordance
with values of humanism, participation,
choice and development so that the

New state requires
fundamental shift in
mindset, organizing
principles, behavior
and/or culture
Anderson & Ackerman, 2001
At the heart of a learning organization is a shift of mind—
from seeing ourselves as separate from the world to
connected to the world, from seeing problems as caused
by someone or something “out there” to seeing how our
own actions create the problems we experience. A
learning organization is a place where people are
continually discovering how they create their reality. And
how they can change it.

reevaluates and reframes goals, values, norms

Organizational Change as a Journey
• Change is a process, it requires
patience and persistence.
• Developmental or transitional change
efforts can be a stepping stone
toward transformational change.
• Change vision requires commitment
from leadership, but is everyone’s
responsibility
• Change requires deep, internal work
• Change efforts toward equity and
inclusion must put cultural
competence at the center
